Even as he lay on his deathbed, wasting away from pancreatic cancer,
Krishnamurti stated firmly that “while he was alive he was still ‘the
World Teacher’” (Vernon, 2001). (That terminal illness occurred in spite
of his claimed possession of laying-on-of-hands healing abilities,
which proved equally ineffectual in his own prior attempts at healing
Bohm of his heart ailments.) Indeed, so enamored was the Krinsh of his own teaching position in the world that he recorded the following
statement a mere ten days before his passing: I don’t think people
realize what tremendous energy and intelligence went through this
body....

You won’t find
another body like this, or that supreme intelligence operating in a body
for many hundred years. You won’t see it again (in Lutyens, 1988). Krishnamurti is supposed to have said that he is even greater than Buddha or the Christ (in Sloss, 2000).
Shortly before his death the Indian teacher had declared that no one
had ever truly understood his teaching; no one besides himself had
experienced transformation (Peat, 1997).
